CABINET PREPARATION
14
1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in fig. 10
(RDT-36 & 48) & fig. 11 (RDT-305) are required. The same clearances apply to island installations.
2. The range can be placed in various positions with respect to the cabinet front, with the front frame either flush
or projecting, depending on the countertop depth.
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown figures 10 & 11.
4. The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13”.
5. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.
6. When there is less than a 12” clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range, (above
the cooking surface) a DCS Low backguard or Full backguard must be installed (fig. 13, standard installation).
When clearance to combustible material is over 12” no backguard is necessary (fig. 13, island installation).
These parts must be ordered separately (page 8). Fig. 13 indicates the space required for each type of
backguard.
7. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.
